In collaboration with community partners, Journey of Our Youth launched our Y.L.I.T.E (Young Leaders in Training Empowerment) program as a response to our formal education system getting rid of curriculum that empowers our youth to transition into young productive citizens in society by learning the basics of home economics and life management skills through our YLITE program.
Many of our supports and sponsors that made this all possible takes great pride in giving back to charities in the communities they serve. YLITE initiative will serve as a safe environment for youth to transition into productive young adult citizens while learning skills they’d need to run a household. Youth enrolled in our YLITE program will learn sewing, cooking, finance, self care, and mental health as a participant in the YLITE initiative. All of sponsors and community support has made this program possible. Journey of Our Youth (JOOY) has been able to not only successfully launch our YLITE program in 2022 but to also become a permanent solution to a rising problem amongst our youth.
If you’re seeking an opportunity to support the youth in our community and help children reach their full potential feel free to submit the form on our website entitled “support us”. We look forward to working with you on JOOY’s YLITE program initiative.
All sponsors will receive recognition on our website as well as social media platforms along with all printed materials that are handed out at the events over a 12 month period. You’re also more than welcome to attend events that are scheduled as a part of our YLITE program initiative as well as volunteer at those events if you’d choose to. All donations are tax deductible as we are a501c3 organization.
